looks cool
kinda like twin clowns

only with the canopies back a bit and the rudders reversed

did I get it

Either way it should fly great (I think)

Thank You and God Bless

I HAVE A RINGMASTER TWIN ,46 INCH SPAN AND 11 INCHES BETWEEN MOTORS FLIES AND SOUNDS GREAT WITH 2 LA 15 'S. I THINK A TWIN CLOWN NEEDS A SMALLER ENGINE ,IT MIGHT BE TOO FAST FOR STUNT, MY CLOWN RACERS USE A LA 15 FOR CLOWN RACING, ITS NOT REALLY A BIG PLANE, BUT WILL BE LOADS OF FUN.

I fly my regular Flying Clown on a 15 La also, it's a ball to fly! The twin will haul the freight, but it should be pretty neat.

Super neat! I did this with Ringmasters, because I had McCoy 19s. Biggest hassle was widening the wingspan in the center. Wing tapered from the outboard and inboard fuses that way. I spaced it at 10",started the inboard side first, then when the outboard started, refueled the inboard. It would fly with either engine out, but much better with both running. Yours looks much better with the Clown reshape, great job!

I will post a RTF picture tomorrow. Not really sure how it's going to fly, but it should be quick!
